![]() Latex Paint Is So Much FunA Poem by Alaina
We painted each other instead of the Wall. My girlfriends fingers followed the muscle lines protruding through my skin. Showing her where to cut and peel the paint off my Back, Legs, Arms. She saw only skin. Her face was emotionless as she painted patterns. Broad shapes meant to be torn, as if she were skinning a Chicken. I wasn’t her lover. Cold and naked my skin stuck. The drop cloth ripping away the paint in sheets, as she pulled me off my knees. I am the mannequin. Exhaling the stiffness when dyed skin is left behind. Red scar tissue appears. © 2008 AlainaReviews
